Parliament: A Question of Management

by V. M. Barrett

About this book

V. M. Barrett examines what it means to manage a parliament effectively, drawing on experience and research in Australia and the United Kingdom. The book considers how the responsibilities of parliamentary officials, members and other participants can support or complicate the work of the institution.

Chapters discuss governance, administration, scrutiny, organisational culture and public engagement. Case studies connect management theory with practical tensions between preserving parliamentary traditions and responding to demands for change. This complete 2022 book retains its comparative evidence, tables, epilogue and bibliography.
